Brief_description
A small site; sewage ponds, with open water and a little fringing vegetation of reeds. Two summer and two winter counts show mainly small numbers of the commoner wetland bird species, and also Great Crested and Blacknecked Grebes (in summer only). The most numerous species has been Cape Teal, with good counts both in summer and winter. The small amount of data available give little indication of seasonality of occurrence in most species, although both Palearctic and other shorebirds are more numerous in summer. No threats have been identified.
